The Dog Watch Cafe – Stonington, Connecticut

In my favorite town in Connecticut, Stonington, this is my second favorite restaurant, by a nose. Not because the food isn’t as good, but the view is better at Skipper’s Dock. It’s worth mentioning that the clam chowder here is amazing, some of the best I’ve ever had. The lobster roll is just fine. It’s a cold lobster roll, all claw meat, overly shredded for my taste and with minimal mayo. It involved celery and shredded lettuce, which I’m not a fan of and it is served in a standard white split top bun, nicely grilled. The fries are great, they are those double fried, crusty outside kind. This is a great restaurant on a day when outdoor dining isn’t the best option. Dog Watch has more of a cozy, warm, soup and beer kind of vibe, great place.
